Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

With a dropping swell, our intermediate surfers seized the opportunity to surf Bali’s premier wave. Paddling out through the cave, the surfers found long-running waves peeling beautifully down the reef. The waves were shoulder high on most sets, with occasional larger sets breaking wide of the main peak. The wind blew beautifully offshore, setting up for an ideal session. The surfers worked on quickly getting to their feet and down the line. If done correctly, you can be rewarded with a lengthy 300-meter ride.

The Racetrack is an excellent wave at all sizes, and it only goes flat a few days a year. Luckily we have this wave within a short drive from the camp, allowing us to be the first surf camp in the water.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate group had a fantastic morning surfing Uluwatu at first light! The conditions provided an enjoyable blend of long rides with challenging sections for the brave on the larger waves. The swell had decreased in size compared to yesterday, creating overhead lines with occasional standout sets. The wind was initially calm but gradually gained strength throughout the session. The more experienced surfers enjoyed the barreling sections over the shallower parts of the reef, while the less-seasoned surfers opted for the smaller waves.

Looking ahead, the surf forecast indicates a gradual fading of the swell over the next few days. However, there is anticipation for a new long-period swell to fill in on Saturday, June 24th. Grab a board and lets go!

Our intermediate surfers recently enjoyed a delightful morning session at Uluwatu, starting at first light. The mesmerizing orange glow of the sunrise and the vivid full moon competed to create a marvelous reflection on the incoming set waves. Although the swell had slightly decreased in size compared to the previous day, most set waves were still in the head-high range, with some larger standout sets arriving for the patient surfers. At first light, the tide was just right, striking the perfect balance of easy paddling over the reef and optimal wave shape and size. The offshore trade wind blew gently, leaving the wave faces smooth as glass.

These are the conditions you can expect in June. Consistent swell, consistent sunshine, and calm mornings with the offshore trade wind picking up in the afternoon.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Fun conditions this morning in the Uluwatu area! The ocean was smooth and the west wind on the forecast only began to arrive toward the end of the session. Our intermediate group paddled out through the famous cave at Uluwatu, where they enjoyed fun left-breaking waves running down the perfectly shaped reef. The waves were head-high on the sets, with the occasional larger wave coming in, and the forecast showed 3 ft. at 13 seconds, coming from 209 degrees.
